Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

cgarces, like you, I have this phenomenal show second only to Rotterdam for the tour, and both of them trailing only 2/13/70 overall...

I like to view these little drum breaks within an epic DS or TOO as a pit stop to repair the spaceship along the journey...
Big Railroad Blues

Another tune that really benefits from Pig's organ IMO
He's Gone

One of the most graceful glides to the finish...beautiful.

This might be my favourite version. This is one of those songs that doesn't need to be jammed out IMO...the songwriting is good enough to stand on its own.
